I have an '02 GT 5-speed with a Novi 1000. I've added the 90mm Lightning MAF and relocated the IAT sensor between the blower & throttle body. I have a Diablo Delta chip tuned by Reinhart Automotive. One of my problem is when I engage the clutch my car will sometimes just quit. There isn't a pattern to it. Before the Novi it stalled like twice the 1st week I had it, then I went 15K miles without a single incident. Now since I added the Novi it happens frequently. My car also bucks when I maintain certain rpm's in certain gears; 3100 to 3500rpms in 2nd gear; 2700 to 3100rpms in 3rd gear & 3000 to 3500rpms in 4th gear. The lower the gear the worse the bucking. I'm thinking it could be several things; the MAF transfer functions are off some, the IAC is dirty, the spark plugs (NGK-7R6 with .033 gap) or possibly the fuel pump (255lph). Also it has been suggested that maybe too much air is going thru my K&N airfilter fooling the computer and causing flooding which is why the car is stalling. He suggested duct taping the K&N about halfway up and seeing if that solved the problem. What do you guys/gals think?
